Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein selbstfahrendes Trägerfahrzeug mit diesem zugeordneter Einrichtung zum Ausbringen von rieselfähigem oder flüssigem Material für landwirtschaftliche Zwecke, insbesondere eine selbstfahrende Sämaschine nach dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1.The invention relates to a self-propelled carrier vehicle with this associated device for dispensing free-flowing or liquid material for agricultural purposes, in particular a self-propelled seed drill according to the preamble of claim 1.

Aus dem deutschen Gebrauchsmuster DE 203 06 483 ist ein alternativer Sämaschinenanbau bekannt geworden, bei dem die Säeinheiten an einem Trägerbalken angeordnet sind, der frontseitig von einem als Schlepper ausgeführten selbstfahrenden Trägerfahrzeug aufgenommen wird. In der Arbeitsposition werden die Säeinheiten von dem Schlepper über das zu bearbeitende Territorium geschoben, sodass stets zunächst das Saatgut ausgebracht wird, bevor der Schlepper schließlich das bereitete Saatbett überfährt. Der die Säeinheiten aufnehmende Trägerbalken ist dreiteilig ausgeführt, wobei sich die dem Schlepper frontseitig zugeordnete Säeinheit nahezu senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung des Schleppers erstreckt, während die dieser mittleren Säeinheit rechts- und linksseitig zugeordneten Säeinheiten unter einem Winkel von 30-45° zur Fahrtrichtung des Schleppers schräggestellt positioniert sind. Eine nach der DE 203 06 483 ausgeführte selbstfahrende Sämaschine hat einerseits den Vorteil, dass der Fahrzeugführer sich zur Beobachtung des Aussaatprozesses nicht mehr entgegen der Fahrtrichtung umdrehen muss, um die Säeinheiten beobachten zu können. Wegen der v-fömigen Anordnung der seitlichen Säeinheiten hat eine derartige Struktur einer selbstfahrenden Sämaschine eine Reihe von Nachteilen, sodass sich geschoben geführte Säeinheiten im Vergleich zu gezogenen Säeinheiten bisher nicht durchsetzen konnten. Ein wesentlicher Nachteil wird durch die V-förmige Anordnung der Säeinheiten bedingt, denn der Maschinenbetreiber muss zur Beobachtung der seitlichen Säeinheiten weiterhin ständig Kopfbewegungen nach rechts und links ausführen, um die gesamte Säelnheitenanordnung visuell überwachen zu können. Diese hohe physische Beanspruchung führt zu einer schnellen Ermüdung und damit zu einem erheblichen Nachlassen der Konzentration des Fahrers, Damit alle Säeinheiten vom Fahrer der Maschine eingesehen werden können, ohne dass dieser sich umdrehen muss, ist die Lange der schräg angeordneten Säeinheiten begrenzt, sodass schließlich nur geringe Arbeitsbreiten realisierbar sind. Ein weiterer Nachteil einer V-förmlgen Anordnung der geschobenen Säeinheiten ergibt sich unmittelbar aus der schrägen Anordnung der seitlichen Mäheinheiten. Damit bei der Aussaat stets ein konstanter Abstand zwischen den Saatreihen sichergestellt wird, müssen die Säschare der seitlichen Säeinheiten einen größeren Abstand zueinander aufweisen, als die Säschare der mittig, nahezu senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung angeordneten Säeinhelt. Damit erhöht sich der Konstruktions- und Fertigungsaufwand für derartig strukturierte Sämaschinen, was letztlich zu höheren Kosten führt.From the German utility model DE 203 06 483 An alternative seed drill attachment has become known, in which the sowing units are arranged on a carrier beam which is received on the front side by a self-propelled carrier vehicle designed as a tractor. In the working position, the sowing units are pushed by the tractor over the territory to be processed, so that always first the seed is applied before the tractor finally overruns the prepared seedbed. The support units receiving the sowing units are designed in three parts, with the tractor assigned to the front of the sowing unit extending almost perpendicular to the direction of travel of the tractor, while this central sowing unit right and left side associated sowing units positioned obliquely at an angle of 30-45 ° to the direction of travel of the tractor are. One after the DE 203 06 483 On the one hand, the self-propelled seed drill has the advantage that the driver no longer has to turn around to observe the sowing process in order to observe the sowing units. Because of the v-shaped arrangement of the side sowing units, such a structure of a self-propelled seed drill has a number of disadvantages, so that slidably guided sowing units could not prevail in comparison to drawn sowing units. A major disadvantage is due to the V-shaped arrangement of Säeinheit, because the machine operator must continue to observe the lateral Säeinheiten head movements to the right and left to visually monitor the entire baggage assembly. This high physical stress leads to rapid fatigue and thus to a significant decrease in the concentration of the driver, so that all sowing units can be viewed by the driver of the machine, without this has to turn around, the length of the oblique sowing units is limited, so finally only small working widths are feasible. Another disadvantage of a V-shaped arrangement of the pushed sowing units results directly from the oblique arrangement of the lateral mowing units. So that a constant distance between the rows of sowing is always ensured during sowing, the seed coulters of the lateral sowing units must be at a greater distance from each other than the seed coulters of the sowing unit arranged centrally, almost perpendicularly to the direction of travel. This increases the design and manufacturing costs for such structured seed drills, which ultimately leads to higher costs.

Aus der DE 36 44 767 ist zudem ein Aussaatverfahren bekannt geworden, bei dem unmittelbar während der Getreideernte zugleich die Aussaat vorgenommen wird. Hierfür sind dem rückwärtigen Bereich des Getreideschneidwerks des Mähdreschers unmittelbar Säeinheiten zugeordnet, die wiederum die Aussaat abgeschlossen haben, bevor das Fahrwerk des Mähdreschers das bearbeitete Territorium überfährt. Während auch bei einer solchen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung die Säelnhalten schiebend von dem Mähdrescher geführt werden, ist eine Beobachtung der Säeinheiten durch den Maschinenführer nicht möglich, da die Säelnheiten aus Gründen des beschränkt zur Verfügung stehenden Bauraumes zumindest teilweise unterhalb der Fahrerkabine angeordnet sind. Zudem ist der Fahrzeugführer während der Getreideernte nahezu ausschließlich mit der Beobachtung des Schneidwerkes beschäftigt, sodass hier eine optimale Beobachtung des Aussaatvorganges nicht möglich ist.From the DE 36 44 767 In addition, a sowing method has become known in which the sowing is carried out at the same time during the grain harvest. For this purpose, the sowing units are assigned directly to the rear area of the grain cutting unit of the combine harvester, which in turn have completed the sowing before the combine harvester passes over the processed territory. While in such an embodiment of the invention, the Säelnhalten be pushed by the combine harvester, observation of sowing units by the operator is not possible because the Säelnheiten for reasons of limited space available are at least partially disposed below the driver's cab. In addition, the driver is busy during the grain harvest almost exclusively with the observation of the cutting unit, so that an optimal observation of the sowing process is not possible here.

Aus dem Stand der Technik sind zudem gemäß der FR-A-2850526 , EP-A-0251053 und US-A-3,720,047 selbstfahrende landwirtschaftliche Arbeitsmaschinen zum Ausbringen von rieselfähigem Saatgut bekannt geworden, die In einer aufgelösten Bauweise front- und heckseitig an dem Trägerfahrzeug adaptierte Sä- und Bodenbearbeitungsaggregate umfassen. Derartige Systeme haben jedoch den Nachteil, dass die front- und heckseitig am Trägerfahrzeug adaptierten Arbeltsaggregate vom Bediener der Maschine während des Feldeinsatzes nur unzureichend beobachtbar sind, da der Bediener nie gleichzeitig den rückwärtigen und den frontseitigen Bereich der landwirtschaftlichen Arbeitsmaschine beobachten kann. Zudem haben derartige Fahrzeugkonzepte bei Straßentransport den Nachteil, dass sie weit ausladend am Trägerfahrzeug positioniert sind, was neben hohen Achslasten auch zu einem Aufschaukeln des Fahrzeugs beim Abbremsen aus hohen Fahrgeschwindigkeiten führt.From the prior art are also according to the FR-A-2850526 . EP-A-0251053 and US-A-3,720,047 self-propelled agricultural machines to Spreading of free-flowing seed has become known, comprising in a dissolved construction front and rear side adapted to the carrier vehicle seeding and tillage aggregates. However, such systems have the disadvantage that the front and rear sides of the carrier vehicle adapted Arbeltsaggregate by the operator of the machine during field use are insufficiently observable, since the operator can never simultaneously observe the rear and front of the agricultural machine. In addition, such vehicle concepts have the disadvantage that they are positioned far outstretched on the carrier vehicle, resulting in high axle loads and also to a rocking of the vehicle when braking from high speeds.

Es ist deshalb Aufgabe der Erfindung, die beschriebenen Nachteile des Standes der Technik zu vermelden und Insbesondere eine selbstfahrende Sämaschine vorzuschlagen, die kostengünstig herstellbar, einfach handhabbar und bei der der Aussaatprozess gut beobachtbar ist.It is therefore an object of the invention to report the disadvantages of the prior art described and in particular to propose a self-propelled seed drill, which is inexpensive to produce, easy to handle and in the sowing process is well observable.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by the characterizing features of claim 1.

Indem die eine oder mehreren Säeinheiten der Sämaschine In der Arbeitsposition nahezu senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung des Trägerfahrzeugs ausgerichtet sind, wird sichergestellt, dass die Sämaschine kostengünstig herstellbar, da die Säeinheiten wegen ihrer nahezu senkrechte Anordnung identisch ausgeführt sein können. Zudem kann der Aussaatprozess durch den Fahrer besser beobachtet werden, da nunmehr alle Säeinheiten im Sichtbereich des Fahrers liegen.By the one or more sowing units of the drill are aligned in the working position almost perpendicular to the direction of travel of the carrier vehicle, it is ensured that the drill can be produced inexpensively, since the sowing units can be made identical because of their nearly vertical arrangement. In addition, the sowing process can be better observed by the driver, since now all sowing units are within sight of the driver.

In einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können die eine oder mehreren Säelnheiten von einer Nichtarbeitsposition In eine Arbeitsposition und umgekehrt verschwenkt werden. Damit wird sichergestellt, dass die Sämaschine große Arbeitsbreiten realisieren kann und dennoch in der Transportposition die zulässigen Straßentransportbreiten nicht überschreitet.In an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the one or more Säelnheiten can be pivoted from a non-working position to a working position and vice versa. This ensures that the seed drill can realize large working widths and yet does not exceed the permissible road transport widths in the transport position.

Eine konstruktiv einfache Umsetzung einer geschobenen Sämaschine mit großer Arbeitsbreite ergibt sich In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung dann, wenn die Sämaschine eine Vielzahl von Säeinheiten umfasst und die Säeinhelten zumindest in der Arbeitsposition unmittelbar oder über zumindest eine Tragrahmenstruktur miteinander gekoppelt sind.In an advantageous development of the invention, a structurally simple implementation of a slotted seed drill with a large working width results when the sowing machine comprises a plurality of sowing units and the sowing belts are coupled to one another, at least in the working position, directly or via at least one support frame structure.

Eine konstruktiv einfache Umsetzung, insbesondere ein kompakte Struktur einer geschobenen Sämaschine wird in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung auch dann erreicht, wenn die eine oder eine Vielzahl von Saeinheiten umfassende Sämaschine über eine Tragrahmenstruktur an dem Trägerfahrzeug adaptiert ist und die Tragrahmenstruktur die Sämaschine in der Weise aufnimmt, dass die Sämaschine von der Tragrahmenstruktur schiebend bewegt wird.A structurally simple implementation, in particular a compact structure of a slotted seed drill is achieved in an advantageous embodiment of the invention even if the one or a plurality of sowing units comprising seeder is adapted via a support frame structure on the carrier vehicle and the support frame structure receives the drill in such a way in that the seeder is pushed by the support frame structure.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist die eine oder eine Vielzahl von Säeinheiten umfassende Sämaschine über eine Tragrahmenstruktur an dem Trägerfahrzeug in der Welse adaptiert, dass die Tragrahmenstruktur die Sämaschine über das zu bearbeitende Territorium zieht. Eine solche Ausgestaltung hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass die Sämaschine so über das zu bearbeitende Territorium geführt werden kann, dass sie bei Kollision mit Hindernissen in einen der Fahrtrichtung entgegengesetzten Bereich kollisionsfrei ausweichen kann. Zudem hat eine derartige Aufhängung der Sämaschine den Vorteil, dass sich die Sämaschine während des Arbeitsbetriebes nicht in den Boden eingräbt.In a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the sowing machine comprising one or a plurality of seeding units is adapted to the carrier vehicle in the catfish via a supporting frame structure such that the supporting frame structure pulls the seeding machine over the territory to be processed. Such an embodiment has the particular advantage that the seed drill can be guided over the territory to be processed in such a way that it can avoid collision-free collision with obstacles in an area opposite to the direction of travel. In addition, such a suspension of the drill has the advantage that the seeder does not dig into the soil during operation.

In einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die eine oder mehreren Säeinheiten der Sämaschine beim Wenden und/oder Rückwärtsfahren und/oder beim Transport des Trägerfahrzeugs in eine Zwischenposition angehoben werden, sodass die Säschare der Säeinheiten außer Eingriff gelangen.In an advantageous development of the invention, it is provided that the one or more sowing units of the seed drill are raised during turning and / or reversing and / or during transport of the carrier vehicle to an intermediate position, so that the seed coulters of the sowing units are disengaged.

Eine kompakte und einfach handhabbare Struktur einer selbstfahrenden Sämaschine wird auch dadurch noch unterstützt, dass dem Trägerfahrzeug ein Vorratsbehälter zugeordnet ist und der Vorratsbehälter unmittelbar von dem Tragrahmen des Trägerfahrzeugs oder einem dem Trägerfahrzeug zugeordneten Hubwerk aufgenommen oder von dem Trägerfahrzeug gezogen wird.A compact and easy-to-handle structure of a self-propelled drill is also supported by the carrier vehicle is associated with a reservoir and the reservoir is directly absorbed by the support frame of the host vehicle or a carrier vehicle associated hoist or pulled by the carrier vehicle.

Damit die selbstfahrende Sämaschine über Ihre Laufräder annähernd gleichverteilt Lasten auf dem Boden abstützt, die Manövrierfähigkeit auch unter schwierigen Bedingungen erhalten bleibt und die von der Tragrahmenstruktur des Trägerfahrzeuges zu übertragenden Kräfte beherrschbar bleiben Ist in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, dass die Sämaschine in der Arbeitsposition und in der Transportposition eine ausbalancierte Struktur aufweist. Dem Rechnung tragend ist in einer ersten vorteilhaften Ausgestaltungsvariante vorgesehen, dass die ausbalancierte Struktur dadurch bewirkt wird, dass das Trägerfahrzeug zumindest zwei Fahrzeugachsen aufweist und die ein oder mehreren Säeinheiten In Arbeits- und Transportposition im wesentlichen im Bereich der einen Fahrzeugachse und die zumindest den Antriebsmotor und das Hauptgetriebe umfassende Antriebsorgane des Trägerfahrzeuges und der Vorratsbehälter Im wesentlichen im Bereich der zumindest einen weiteren Fahrzeugachse an dem Trägerfahrzeug angeordnet sind.So that the self-propelled seed drill on their wheels approximately equally distributed loads supported on the ground, the maneuverability is maintained even under difficult conditions and remain controllable by the support frame structure of the carrier vehicle forces Is provided in an advantageous embodiment of the invention that the drill in the working position and in the transport position has a balanced structure. Carrying the bill is provided in a first advantageous embodiment variant that the balanced structure is effected in that the carrier vehicle has at least two vehicle axles and the one or more Säeinheiten In working and transport position substantially in the range of a vehicle axle and the at least the drive motor and The main transmission comprehensive drive members of the carrier vehicle and the reservoir are arranged substantially in the region of at least one further vehicle axle on the carrier vehicle.

In einer anderen Ausgestaltungsvariante wird diese ausbalancierte Struktur der selbstfahrenden Sämaschine dadurch erreicht, dass das Trägerfahrzeug zumindest zwei Fahrzeugachsen aufweist und die ein oder mehreren Säelnheiten in Arbeits- und Transportposition im wesentlichen im Bereich der einen Fahrzeugachse und die Antriebsorgane des Trägerfahrzeuges und der Vorratsbehälter im wesentlichen im Bereich der zumindest einen weiteren Fahrzeugachse an dem Trägerfahrzeug angeordnet sind und wobei dem Trägerfahrzeug eine verschwenkbare Fahrerkabine zugeordnet ist, die in der Arbeitsposition im wesentlichen im Bereich der einen Fahrzeugachse und in der Transportposition im wesentlichen im Bereich der weiteren Fahrzeugachse positioniert ist.In another embodiment variant, this balanced structure of the self-propelled seed drill is achieved in that the carrier vehicle has at least two vehicle axles and the one or more Säelnheiten in working and transport position substantially in the area of a vehicle axle and the drive members of the carrier vehicle and the reservoir substantially in Area of the at least one further vehicle axle are arranged on the carrier vehicle and wherein the carrier vehicle is associated with a pivotable driver's cab, which is positioned in the working position substantially in the region of a vehicle axle and in the transport position substantially in the region of the further vehicle axle.

Eine extrem kompakte Bauweise der selbstfahrenden Sämaschine ergibt sich bei Systemen mit verschwenkbarer Fahrerkabine dann, wenn in einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung der Erfindung in der Transportposition die eine oder mehreren Säeinheiten den Bereich der Fahrerkabine in Arbeitsposition zumindest teilweise ausfüllen. Eine derartige Anordnung hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass die Säeinheiten nahe der Tragrahmenstruktur des Trägerfahrzeugs und der einen Fahrachse positioniert werden können, sodass die Torsions- und Biegebeanspruchungen der verschiedenen Tragrahmenstrukturen beherrschbar bleiben. Eine optimal ausbalancierte Struktur der selbstfahrenden Sämaschinen ergibt sich in diesem Zusammenhang auch dann, wenn In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung in der Transportposition die Fahrerkabine zumindest teilweise den Bereich des Transportbehälters In Arbeitsposition ausfüllt.An extremely compact design of the self-propelled drill results in systems with pivoting cab when, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention in the transport position, the one or more Säeinheiten fill the area of the cab in working position at least partially. Such an arrangement has the particular advantage that the sowing units can be positioned close to the support frame structure of the carrier vehicle and the one drive axle, so that the torsional and bending stresses of the various support frame structures can be controlled stay. An optimally balanced structure of the self-propelled seeders results in this context, even if in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention in the transport position, the driver's cab at least partially fills the area of the transport container in working position.

Aufgrund dessen, dass die Laufräder des Trägerfahrzeugs das bereits bereitete Saatbett überrollen ist es von großer Bedeutung, dass deren bodenverdichtende Wirkung in einem Bereich liegt, der das Andrucken der Aussaat begünstigt aber nicht so hoch ist, dass die auftretende Verdichtung des Bodens das Auflaufen der Saat behindert. Deshalb wird in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgeschlagen, dass die den Fahrzeugachsen des Trägerfahrzeugs zugeordneten Laufräder lenkbar und in einer Hundegangfunktion betreibbar sind und das Trägerfahrzeug in der Arbeitsposition in der Hundegangfunktion betrieben wird.Due to the fact that the wheels of the carrier vehicle roll over the already prepared seedbed, it is of great importance that their soil compaction effect is in an area that favors the pressing of the sowing but is not so high that the compaction of the soil occurring the emergence of the seed with special needs. Therefore, it is proposed in an advantageous embodiment of the invention that the vehicle axles of the carrier vehicle associated wheels are steerable and operable in a crab function and the carrier vehicle is operated in the working position in the crab function.

Eine effiziente Form der Saatbettbereitung und Aussaat wird dann erreicht, wenn in einer vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung dem Trägerfahrzeug im rückwärtigen Bereich Bodenbearbeitungs- und/oder Saatbettbereitungseinheiten zugeordnet sind und die Arbeitsbereiche der dem Trägerfahrzeug vorauslaufenden Säeinheiten und der nachlaufenden Bodenbearbeitungs- und/oder Saatbettbereitungseinheiten nahezu bündig aneinander grenzen.An efficient form of seedbed preparation and sowing is achieved when, in an advantageous embodiment of the invention, the cultivation and / or seedbed preparation units are assigned to the carrier vehicle in the rear area and the working areas of the sowing units preceding the carrier vehicle and of the trailing soil cultivation and / or seedbed preparation units are almost flush border each other.

Da zunehmend landwirtschaftliche Flächen mit sogenannten Fahrgassen versehen werden, In welche alle an dem Pflanzenproduktionsprozess beteiligten landwirtschaftlichen Maschinen auf dem zu bearbeitenden Territorium fahren müssen, ist in einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung der Erfindung vorgesehen, das Trägerfahrzeug in Arbeitsposition so betrieben wird, dass jeweils die einer Fahrzeugseite zugeordneten Laufräder in derselben Fahrspur laufen, wobei die Fahrspuren dann zugleich die Fahrgassen für später das zu bearbeitende Territorium überfahrende Maschinen bilden.As increasingly agricultural areas are provided with so-called tramlines, in which all participating in the plant production process agricultural machinery must drive on the territory to be processed, is provided in a further advantageous embodiment of the invention, the carrier vehicle is operated in working position so that each of a vehicle side associated wheels run in the same lane, the lanes then also form the tramlines for later on the territory to be processed crossing machines.

Fig. 1 zeigt eine selbstfahrende Sämaschine 1, bestehend aus einem Trägerfahrzeug 2 und einem dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 frontseitig zugeordneten, die Säeinheiten 3-5 aufnehmenden Adapter 6. Der Adapter 6 umfasst eine, in Figur 1 schematisch dargestellte Tragrahmenstruktur 7, die in ihrem rückwärtigen, dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 zugeordneten Bereich Anlenkpunkte 8 aufnimmt, über die der Adapter 6 und damit die Säeinheiten 3-5 an einem dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 frontseitig zugeordneten Hubwerk 9 höhen- und/oder seitenverschwenkbar zugeordnet sind. Das Trägerfahrzeug 2 verfügt zudem über eine Laufräder 10 aufnehmende Vorderachse 11 und eine ebenfalls Laufräder 12 aufnehmende Hinterachse 13. Im Bereich der Vorderachse 11 ist der Tragrahmenstruktur 14 des Trägerfahrzeugs 2 zudem eine Fahrerkabine 15 zugeordnet, in der der Betreiber 16 der selbstfahrenden Sämaschine 1 so positioniert Ist, dass er in Fahrtrichtung FR blickend in seinem Sichtfeld 17 die Säeinheiten 3-5 des Adapters 6 einsehen kann. Damit dies auf einfache Weise möglich wird, sind die Säeinheiten 3-5 des Adapters 6 erfindungsgemäß nahezu senkrecht zur Fahrtrichtung FR der selbstfahrenden Sämaschine 1 an dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 angeordnet. Dies hat zugleich den Vorteil, dass die Säschare 18 aller Säeinheiten 3-5 zueinander stets den gleichen Abstand 19 aufweisen. Damit die Säeinheiten 3-5 zugleich von einer breiten Arbeitsposition gemäß Figur 1 in eine noch näher zu beschreibende Nichtarbeitsposition verschwenkt werden können, sind die jeweils benachbarten Säeinheiten 3-5 über Gelenkverbindungen 20 entweder unmittelbar miteinander oder über die Tragrahmenstruktur 7 des Adapters 6 schwenkbeweglich miteinander verbunden. Fig. 1 shows a self-propelled drill 1, consisting of a carrier vehicle 2 and the carrier vehicle 2 front assigned, the Säeinheiten 3-5 receiving adapter 6. The adapter 6 comprises a, in FIG. 1 schematically illustrated support frame structure 7, which receives in its rear, the carrier vehicle 2 associated area articulation points 8, via which the adapter 6 and thus the sowing units 3-5 on a carrier vehicle 2 front side associated hoist 9 height and / or seitenverschwenkbar assigned. The carrier vehicle 2 also has a front wheels 11 receiving the front axle 11 and a rear wheels 13 also receiving wheels 12. In the area of the front axle 11, the support frame structure 14 of the carrier vehicle 2 is also assigned a driver's cab 15 in which the operator 16 of the self-propelled seed drill 1 is positioned Is that he can look in the direction of travel FR looking in his field of view 17, the Säeinheiten 3-5 of the adapter 6. For this to be possible in a simple manner, the sowing units 3-5 of the adapter 6 are arranged according to the invention almost perpendicular to the direction of travel FR of the self-propelled seed drill 1 on the carrier vehicle 2. This also has the advantage that the coulters 18 of all Säeinheiten 3-5 always have the same distance 19 to each other. Thus, the Säeinheiten 3-5 at the same time from a wide working position according to FIG. 1 can be pivoted into a non-working position to be described later, the respective adjacent sowing units 3-5 are pivotally connected to each other via articulated joints 20 either directly with each other or via the support frame structure 7 of the adapter 6.

Im Bereich der Hinterachse 13 sind der Tragrahmenstruktur 14 des Trägerfahrzeugs 2 schließlich der Antriebsmotor 21 und ein mit dem Antriebsmotor 21 gekoppeltes Hautgetriebe 22 zugeordnet, wobei das Hauptgetriebe 22 so in einen Antriebsstrang 23 integriert ist, dass entweder alle oder nur eine Fahrzeugachse 11, 13 und die verschiedenen Verbraucher, wie etwa die Säeinheiten 3-5 und an sich bekannte und hier nicht näher beschriebene, in der Regel pneumatisch betriebene Saatgutfördereinrichtungen 24 angetrieben werden können. Zugleich ist im Bereich der Hinterachse 13 der Vorratsbehälter 25, 25' angeordnet, wobei dieser entweder als von dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 gezogener Vorratsbehälter 25 oder getragener Vorratsbehälter 25' ausgeführt sein kann. Die getragene Ausführung des Vorratsbehälters 25' kann entweder dadurch erreicht werden, dass der Vorratsbehälter 25' unmittelbar von der Tragrahmenstruktur 14 des Trägerfahrzeugs 2 aufgenommen wird oder dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 heckseitig ein Heckhubwerk 26 zugeordnet ist, welches den Vorratsbehälter 25' aufnimmt und über die Hinterachse 13 und/oder die Tragrahmenstruktur 14 des Trägerfahrzeugs 2 abstützt.In the region of the rear axle 13 of the support frame structure 14 of the carrier vehicle 2, the drive motor 21 and a coupled to the drive motor 21 skin gear 22 are finally assigned, the main gear 22 so in a drive train 23 is integrated, that either all or only one vehicle axle 11, 13 and the various consumers, such as the Säeinheiten 3-5 and known per se and not described here, usually pneumatically operated seed conveyors 24 can be driven. At the same time in the region of the rear axle 13 of the reservoir 25, 25 'is arranged, this can be carried out either as drawn by the carrier vehicle 2 reservoir 25 or supported reservoir 25'. The supported design of the storage container 25 'can be achieved either by receiving the storage container 25' directly from the support frame structure 14 of the carrier vehicle 2 or by assigning a rear lift 26 to the carrier vehicle 2 at the rear, which receives the storage container 25 'and via the rear axle 13 and / or the support frame structure 14 of the carrier vehicle 2 is supported.

Es liegt zudem im Rahmen der Erfindung, dass das Trägerfahrzeug als Schlepper oder als so genanntes Systemfahrzeug ausgebildet ist.It is also within the scope of the invention that the carrier vehicle is designed as a tractor or as a so-called system vehicle.

Figur 2 zeigt Ausgestaltungsvarianten der erfindungsgemäßen, selbstfahrenden Sämaschine 1, wobei die Sämaschine 1 aus Vereinfachungsgründen sowohl In der Arbeitsposition als auch der Nichtarbeitsposition dargestellt Ist. In dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Trägerfahrzeug 2 als so genanntes Systemfahrzeug ausgeführt. In Analogie zu Figur 1 wird in einer ersten Ausgestaltungsvariante die Tragrahmenstruktur 7 des die Säeinheiten 3-5 aufnehmenden Adapters 6 in ihrem rückwärtigen Bereich von dem Hubwerk 9 des Trägerfahrzeugs 2 schwenkbeweglich aufgenommen. In dieser Ausgestaltungsvariante erfolgt die Koppelung der Säeinheiten 3-5 mit besagter Tragrahmenstruktur 7 im rückwärtigen Bereich 27 der Säeinheiten 3-5, sodass die Säeinheiten 3-5 von der Tragrahmenstruktur 7 geschoben werden. Gemäß Detalldarstellung A in Figur 2 kann die Tragrahmenstruktur 7 des Adapters 6 aber auch so beschaffen sein, dass Kragarme 28 die Säeinheiten 3-5 übergreifen und im fronseitigen Bereich 29 der Säeinheiten 3-5 mit diesen gekoppelt sind, sodass die Säeinheiten 3-5 von der Tragrahmenstruktur 7 des Adapters 6 gezogen werden. Indem die Kragarme 28 zudem zweigeteilt ausgeführt sind und ein Schwenkgelenk 30 umfassen, kann der die Säeinheiten 3-5 aufnehmende Abschnitt 31 eines jeden Kragarmes 26 beispielsweise gegen die Wirkung einer zwischen beiden Abschnitten des Kragarms 28 angeordneten Rückstellfeder 32 so geführt werden, dass die Säeinheiten 3-5 bei Kollision mit Hindernissen ausweichen können und nach Passieren des Hindernisses selbsttätig oder durch Fremdbetätigung wieder in ihre Arbeitsposition gelangen. FIG. 2 shows design variants of the inventive, self-propelled seed drill 1, wherein the drill 1 is shown for simplicity, both in the working position and the non-working position. In the illustrated embodiment, the carrier vehicle 2 is designed as a so-called system vehicle. In analogy to FIG. 1 In a first embodiment variant, the support frame structure 7 of the sowing units 3-5 accommodating adapter 6 is received in its rear region by the hoist 9 of the carrier vehicle 2 pivotally. In this embodiment variant, the coupling of the sowing units 3-5 with said supporting frame structure 7 takes place in the rear region 27 of the sowing units 3-5, so that the sowing units 3-5 are pushed by the supporting frame structure 7. According to detailed representation A in FIG. 2 However, the support frame structure 7 of the adapter 6 may also be such that cantilevers 28 engage over the sowing units 3-5 and are coupled in the front-side region 29 of the sowing units 3-5, so that the sowing units 3-5 of the support frame structure 7 of the adapter 6 to be pulled. By the cantilevers 28 are also designed in two parts and include a pivot joint 30, the Säeinheiten 3-5 receiving portion 31 of each cantilever 26, for example, against the action of one between two sections of the cantilever 28 is arranged Return spring 32 are guided so that the Säeinheiten 3-5 can avoid in collision with obstacles and get into their working position automatically or by foreign operation after passing the obstacle.

Indem das die Tragrahmenstruktur 7 des Adapters 6 aufnehmende Hubwerk 9 des Tragerfahrzeugs 2 zumindest gemäß Pfeilrichtung 33 höhenverstellbar ist, kann die selbstfahrende Sämaschine 1 während des Aussaatvorgangs auf dem zu bearbeitenden Territorium 34 in eine Zwischenposition 35 verbracht werden, in der die Säschare 18 einen Abstand 36 zum zu bearbeitenden Territorium 34 einnehmen, sodass die Säschare 18 beispielsweise beim Rückwärtsfahren, beim Wenden oder bei Transportfahrten des Trägerfahrzeugs 2 außer Eingriff gelangen.By the support frame structure 7 of the adapter 6 receiving hoist 9 of the support vehicle 2 is height adjustable at least in the direction of arrow 33, the self-propelled drill 1 can be spent during sowing on the territory to be processed 34 in an intermediate position 35 in which the coulters 18 a distance 36th occupy the territory to be processed 34, so that the coulters 18, for example, when reversing, when turning or when transporting the carrier vehicle 2 disengage.

Je nach Ausgestaltungsvariante wird, wie bereits beschrieben, der Vorratsbehälter 25, 25' entweder von dem Trägerfahrzeug 25 gezogen oder getragen. Eine besonders vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung ergibt sich dann, wenn dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 ein so genanntes Heckhubwerk 26 zugeordnet ist und der Vorratsbehälter 25' von diesem aufgenommen wird. Indem das Heckhubwerk 26 gemäß Pfeilrichtung 37 verschwenkbar ist, kann auch der Vorratsbehälter 25' gemäß Pfeilrichtung 38 in verschiedene Positionen verschwenkt werden, sodass er zum Befüllen absenkbar und Je nach Befüllzustand während des Aussaatvorganges in verschiedenen Positionen auf dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 im Bereich der Hinterachse 13 anordenbar ist. Dies hat insbesondere den Vorteil, dass die selbstfahrende Sämaschine 1 in der Arbeitsposition eine ausbalancierte Struktur aufweist, die eine gleichmäßige Belastung der Fahrzeugachsen 11, 13 sicherstellt.Depending on the embodiment variant, as already described, the storage container 25, 25 'is either pulled or carried by the carrier vehicle 25. A particularly advantageous embodiment results when the carrier vehicle 2, a so-called Heckhubwerk 26 is assigned and the reservoir 25 'is taken up by this. By the Heckhubwerk 26 is pivotable in the direction of arrow 37, and the reservoir 25 'according to arrow 38 can be pivoted into different positions, so that it can be lowered for filling and depending on the filling during the sowing process in different positions on the carrier vehicle 2 in the region of the rear axle 13 is. This has the particular advantage that the self-propelled seed drill 1 in the working position has a balanced structure, which ensures a uniform load on the vehicle axles 11, 13.

Figur 3 zeigt schematisch, durch welche Maßnahmen eine erfingdungsgemäß ausbalancierte Struktur der selbstfahrenden Sämaschine 1 in der Arbeits- und Nichtarbeitsposition erreicht wird, wobei die durchgezogenen Linien die Arbeitsposition und die strichpunktierten Linien die Nichtarbeitsposition der verschiedenen Elemente darstellen. In der Arbeitsposition sind die Säeinheiten 3-5 und der sie tragende Adapter 6 sowie die Fahrerkabine 15 im Wesentlichen im Bereich der Vorderachse 11 angeordnet. Zugleich nehmen zumindest der Antriebsmotor 21, das Hauptgetriebe 22 und der befüllte Vorratsbehälter 25, 25' eine im Wesentlichen im Bereich der Hinterachse 13 liegende Position ein. In einer ersten Ausgestaltungsvariante werden die links- und rechtsseitigen Säeinheiten 3,5 (siehe Figur 1) In der Nichtarbeitsposition in rechts- und linksseitig neben der Fahrerkabine 15 angeordnete Nichtarbeitspositionen verschwenkt, sodass sie weiterhin om Wesentlichen im Bereich der Vorderachse 11 und oberhalb der von der Vorderachse 11 aufgenommenen Laufräder 10 positioniert sind. Zugleich wird die dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 frontseitig zugeordnete Säeinheit 4 in eine bodenferne Position verschwenkt. Indem die Fahrerkabine 15 und die Säeinheiten 3-5 weiterhin im Wesentlichen im Bereich der Vorderachse 11 und zumindest der Antriebsmotor 21, das Hautgetriebe 22 und der getragene oder gezogene Vorratsbehälter 25, 25' im Bereich der Hinterachse 13 angeordnet sind, bleibt auch in der Transportstellung der Sämaschine 1 deren ausbalancierte Struktur erhalten. Sofern das Trägerfahrzeug 2 über einen mit dem Heckhubwerk 26 gekoppelten Vorratsbehälter 25' verfügt ist es in diesem Zusammenhang auch denkbar, dass der Vorratsbehälter gemäß Pfeilrichtung 38 In eine der Hinterachse 13 nachgeordnete Position verschwenkt wird, um eine optimal ausbalancierte Struktur zu erhalten. Sofern das Trägerfahrzeug 2 als nicht dargestellter Schlepper ausgeführt ist bleiben die beschriebenen Zusammenhänge mit der Ausnahme erhalten, dass die Fahrerkabine 15 in der Regel im Bereich der Hinterachse 13 angeordnet ist. FIG. 3 shows schematically by what measures an inventively balanced structure of the self-propelled drill 1 is achieved in the working and non-working position, the solid lines represent the working position and the dotted lines represent the non-working position of the various elements. In the working position, the sowing units 3-5 and the adapter 6 carrying them as well as the driver's cab 15 are arranged essentially in the region of the front axle 11. At the same time take at least the drive motor 21, the main gear 22 and the filled reservoir 25, 25 'a lying substantially in the region of the rear axle 13 position. In a first Design variant are the left and right side Säeinheiten 3.5 (see FIG. 1 In the non-working position, non-working positions arranged on the right and left side next to the driver's cab 15 are pivoted so that they continue to be positioned substantially in the area of the front axle 11 and above the wheels 10 received by the front axle 11. At the same time, the sowing unit 4, which is assigned to the carrier vehicle 2 at the front, is pivoted into a position away from the ground. By the driver's cab 15 and the sowing units 3-5 continue to be located substantially in the region of the front axle 11 and at least the drive motor 21, the skin gear 22 and the supported or drawn reservoir 25, 25 'in the region of the rear axle 13, also remains in the transport position the seed drill 1 obtained their balanced structure. If the carrier vehicle 2 has a storage container 25 'coupled to the rear lifting mechanism 26, it is also conceivable in this context for the storage container to be pivoted in a direction downstream of the arrow 38 into a downstream position in order to obtain an optimally balanced structure. If the carrier vehicle 2 is designed as a tractor, not shown, the described relationships remain with the exception that the driver's cab 15 is usually arranged in the region of the rear axle 13.

In einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung verfügt das Trägerfahrzeug 2 über eine In ihrer Position auf dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 änderbare Fahrzeugkabine 15, die in der Transportposition in den Bereich der Hinterachse 13 verschwenkt werden kann. In einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung wird die Fahrerkabine 15 dabei um 180° gedreht, sodass die Fahrerkabine 15' dann in eine, der Fahrtrichtung FR in Arbeitsposition entgegengesetzte Fahrtrichtung FR' weist. Zugleich wird der von dem Heckhubwerk 26 getragene Vorratsbehälter 25' gemäß Pfeilrichtung 38 verschwenkt, sodass die Fahrerkabine 15' zumindest teilweise in dem Bereich positioniert werden kann, in dem in der Arbeitsposition der Vorratsbehälter 25' positioniert war. Indem die Fahrerkabine 15, 15' in dieser Transportposition aus dem Bereich der Vorderachse 11 wegbewegt wurde, können die verschwenkbaren Säeinheiten 3-5 so im Bereich der Vorderachse 11 positioniert werden, dass sie auch den Bereich der Fahrerkabine 15 ausfüllen können. Neben einer extrem kompakten Bauweise der selbstfahrenden Sämaschine 1 wird auch hier eine optimal ausbalancierte Struktur der Sämaschine in der Transportposition sichergestellt.In a further embodiment of the invention, the carrier vehicle 2 has a vehicle cab 15 which can be changed in its position on the carrier vehicle 2 and which can be pivoted into the region of the rear axle 13 in the transport position. In a preferred embodiment, the driver's cab 15 is rotated by 180 °, so that the driver's cab 15 'then points in a direction of travel FR' opposite the direction of travel FR in the working position. At the same time carried by the Heckhubwerk 26 reservoir 25 'is pivoted in the direction of arrow 38, so that the driver's cab 15' can be positioned at least partially in the area in which in the working position of the reservoir 25 'was positioned. By moving the driver's cab 15, 15 'out of the area of the front axle 11 in this transport position, the swiveling sowing units 3-5 can be positioned in the area of the front axle 11 so that they can also fill the area of the driver's cab 15. In addition to an extremely compact design of the self-propelled seed drill 1, an optimally balanced structure of the drill in the transport position is ensured here.

Sofern das Trägerfahrzeug 2 von einem nicht dargestellten Schlepper gebildet wird, dessen Kabine in der Regel stets im Bereich der Hinterachse 13 angeordnet ist, kann die kompakte Struktur in der Nichtarbeitsposition dann erreicht werden, wenn der Schlepper über eine sogenannte Rückfahreinrichtung verfügt, bei der nur der Fahrersitz In der Fahrerkabine 15 um 180° gedreht wird. Derartige Schlepper fahren in der Arbeitsposition mit gedrehter Fahrerkabine 15', während sie In der Nichtarbeitsposition, beispielsweise bei Straßenfahrt, ihre ursprüngliche Position wieder einnimmt. Zur Umsetzung der erfindungsgemäßen Lehre müssen diese Schlepper dann die erfindungsgemäßen Säeinheiten 3-5 über das Ihnen zugeordnete Heckhubwerk 26 aufnehmen, während der Vorratsbehälter 25' dem Fronthubwerk zugeordnet ist. Da sich bei Schleppern mit Rückfahreinrichtung, je nach Position der Fahrerkabine 15, 15' die Funktion der Fahrachsen zwischen Hinterachs- und Vorderachsfunktion ändern, ergibt sich dann in Analogie zu dem in den Figuren 1 - 4 beschriebenen Ausführungsbeispiel die ausbalancierte Struktur, indem in der Arbeitsposition die Fahrerkabine 15' und die Säeinheiten 3-5 im wesentlichen der in Fahrtrichtung FR vorn liegenden Fahrzeugachse zugeordnet sind, während zumindest der Antriebsmotor 21 und das Hauptgetriebe 22 sowie der Vorratsbehälter 25' im wesentlichen der in Fahrtrichtung nachgeordneten Fahrzeugachse zugeordnet sind. Zugleich behindern die in kompakter Weise in die Transportposition verschwenkten Säeinheiten nicht die Sicht des Schlepperfahrers, da dieser bei Straßentransport in die entgegengesetzte Richtung blickt.If the carrier vehicle 2 is formed by a tractor, not shown, whose cabin is usually always arranged in the region of the rear axle 13, the compact structure in the non-working position can be achieved if the tractor has a so-called return drive, in which only the Driver's seat In the cab 15 is rotated by 180 °. Such tractors drive in the working position with the driver's cab 15 'rotated, while in the non-working position, for example when driving on the street, it returns to its original position. In order to implement the teaching of the invention, these tractors must then absorb the sowing units 3-5 according to the invention via the rear lifting gear 26 assigned to them, while the storage container 25 'is assigned to the front lifting gear. Since change in tractors with return device, depending on the position of the cab 15, 15 ', the function of the driving axles between Hinterachs- and Vorderachsfunktion, then results in analogy to that in the Figures 1 - 4 described embodiment, the balanced structure by the driver's cab 15 'and the sowing units 3-5 are assigned in the working position in the forward direction FR vehicle axle substantially while at least the drive motor 21 and the main gear 22 and the reservoir 25' is substantially the in Direction of travel are assigned downstream vehicle axle. At the same time, the saw units, which are pivoted into the transport position in a compact manner, do not hinder the driver's view, since the driver is looking in the opposite direction during road transport.

Gemäß der schematischen Darstellung in Figur 4, obere Abbildung, können die den Fahrzeugachsen 11, 13 das Trägerfahrzeugs 2 zugeordneten Laufräder 10, 12 lenkbar und in einer Hundegangfunktion betreibbar sein und wobei das Trägerfahrzeug 2 in der Arbeitsposition in der Hundegangfunktion betrieben wird. Auf diese Weise rollen alle Laufräder 10, 12 in verschiedenen Fahrspuren ab, sodass der bodenverdichtende Einfluss der Laufräder 10, 12 auf das bereits fertiggestellte Saatbett 34 abnimmt. Sofern die von den Laufrädern 10, 12 verursachten Fahrspuren später als sogenannte Fahrgassen benutzt werden sollen, in denen die Laufräder weiterer landwirtschaftlicher Fahrzeuge geführt werden sollen, kann das Trägerfahrzeug 2 auch gemäß Figur 1 so betrieben werden, dass jeweils die einer Fahrzeugseite zugeordneten Laufräder 10, 12 in derselben Fahrspur laufen.According to the schematic representation in FIG. 4 In the upper illustration, the wheels 10, 12 associated with the vehicle axles 11, 13 of the carrier vehicle 2 may be steerable and operable in a dog-walking function, and the carrier vehicle 2 is operated in the working position in the dog-walking function. In this way, all the wheels 10, 12 roll in different lanes, so that the soil-compacting influence of the wheels 10, 12 decreases to the already completed seedbed 34. If the lanes caused by the wheels 10, 12 are to be used later as so-called lanes, in which the wheels of other agricultural vehicles to be performed, the carrier vehicle 2 also according to FIG. 1 are operated so that each of a vehicle side associated wheels 10, 12 run in the same lane.

Eine besonders effiziente Saatbettbereltungskombination ergibt sich auch denn, wenn gemäß Figur 4, untere Abbildung, dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 frontseitig die erfindungsgemäßen Säeinheiten 3-5 und heckseitig neben dem von dem Heckhubwerk 26 oder der Tragrahmenstruktur 14 des Trägerfahrzeugs 2 getragenen Vorratsbehälter 25' eine Bodenbearbeitungs- und/oder Saatbettbereitungselnheit 39, etwa ein Pflug oder eine Egge, zugeordnet ist und wobei die Arbeitsbereiche der dem Trägerfahrzeug 2 vorauslaufenden Säeinheiten 3-5 und der nachlaufenden Bodenbearbeitungs- und/oder Saatbettbereitungseinheiten 39 nahezu bündig aneinander grenzen. Eine solche Anordnung hätte insbesondere den Vorteil, dass die hohe Masse des befüllten Vorratsbehälters 25' zugleich über die Bodenbearbeltungs- und/oder Saatbettbereitungseinheit 39 auf dem Boden abgestützt werden kann, sodass neben einer Fahrwerkentlastung am Trägerfahrzeug 2 zugleich wegen der durch den Vorratsbehälter 25' hervorgerufenen zusätzlichen Ballastierung eine größere Laufruhe der Bodenbearbeitungs- und/oder Saatbettbereitungseinheit 39 bewirkt wird.A particularly efficient seedbed combination combination also results, if according to FIG. 4 , bottom illustration, the carrier vehicle 2 front sowing units according to the invention 3-5 and rear side next to the supported by the Heckhubwerk 26 or the support frame structure 14 of the carrier vehicle 2 reservoir 25 'a soil cultivation and / or Saatbettbereitungselnheit 39, such as a plow or a harrow assigned and wherein the work areas of the carrier vehicle 2 preceding sowing units 3-5 and the trailing tillage and / or seedbed preparation units 39 border each other almost flush. Such an arrangement would in particular have the advantage that the high mass of the filled storage container 25 'at the same time on the Bodenbearbeltungs- and / or seedbed preparation unit 39 can be supported on the ground, so that in addition to a chassis relief on the carrier vehicle 2 at the same time caused by the reservoir 25' additional ballast a greater smoothness of the tillage and / or seedbed preparation unit 39 is effected.
